LITTLE HONEYGUIDE. 197 



this is closely and unquestionably connected; the 

 margin also of the upper mandible has a sort of 

 angle in the middle. The upper part of the head 

 and its sides, the neck, and the interscapulars, are 

 cinereous-grey ; this tint gradually changes to a 

 yellowish-olive, which extends over the rump 

 and margins all the feathers of the wings and tail ; 

 the under parts are of a lighter cinereous than the 

 crown, almost approaching to white on the chin, 

 belly, and vent. The quills are black, margined 

 with olive-yellow ; the ground colour of the tail is 

 also black, the three most lateral feathers are white, 

 tipt and edged externally with brown, the two next 

 being white only on the margin of their inner webs ; 

 inner wing-covers white; the two outermost tail- 

 feathers are much graduated, the rest even. 



Total length, 5J inches; bill, from the gape, ^;
